EDF Energy teams up with renewables giant to offer free solar panels
EDF Energy is working with the UK’s largest generator of solar power in a bid to create the biggest challenger brand in the energy retail market by the end of the decade, reports the Telegraph.
The Big Six supplier has partnered with Sunplug, a consumer energy project developed in partnership with Lightsource, which provides the solar panels on thousands of British roofs.
The Sunplug system allows energy users to store solar energy through the day and use the power when it’s needed at a fixed price, without the cost of installing or maintaining In the same way that mobile phone contracts allow customers to pay for the handset alongside the service tariff, Sunplug hopes to create a boom in demand for solar technology by removing the cost barrier the panels.
